Career

Club

On 24 October 2019, Vardanyan extended his contract with Pyunik.[1] On 27 October 2019, Vardanyan was sent off in a 4–2 defeat away to Ararat Yerevan,[2] pushing the referee Henrik Nalbandyan and swearing at the opposition fans in the process. As a result, on 1 November 2019, Vardanyan was handed a six-month suspension until 30 April 2020.[3]

On 5 November 2019, Pyunik and PFC Sochi announced the transfer of Erik Vardanyan, with the transfer to be finalised on 1 January 2020.[4][5] Even though his contract with Sochi was technically not active until 2020, he was not eligible to play for Pyunik due to disqualification, and therefore joined Sochi and started training with the squad immediately upon signing.[5] The disqualification applied to the Russian Premier League.[6]
